Captivate 6 - How do I get .gifs in my training to animate properly?

Hello,
I inserted a animated gif into my training as an image, but during playback, it doesn't animate. Is there a way to utlize gifs and keep their animation properties?
thank you!
Ryan Scharfer

Hi,
Can you tell me if this happens to a certain animation or all of them.
Can you try to insert an animation by Insert--Animation and locate your GIF file.
Once, you add the animation check the gallery and try to preview them if they look fine.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

How do you get .gif images to move?

I know when you take pictures in photo booth you can export it to your iChat account to make it a little animation. But how do i get the .gif images i dragged & dropped from the web to move? I open Preview to view the .gif but it just gives me all the frames of the picture and not really an animation. Can anyone help me make them move?

I presume you want to have an animated buddy icon?
In case you have leopard installed;
1. Select the 4 photo (burst) button in Photo Booth.
2. Look: 1.straight into the camera and after the flash look 2.left, 3.right an up.
3. Select the miniature in the photo booth picture bar, if you like it: click on the iChat icon.
4. Open iChat>preferences>general>tick the box "show animated buddy icons".
You have an animated buddy icon and you can see your buddy's animations as well, in case they have one.

So how can i get gifs on my phone?

I can't seem to download them because the "file is too big for the carrier" but my phone has animations that it came with.
How do I add my own and what's the size limit?

It depends on which device you have. The download will come through like a picture message. The maximum file size for picture / video messages varies from device to device. The file size limitation is based on the megapixels of the camera on the device:
Devices with a .3 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 100 KB.
Devices with a 1.2 - 2 megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 350 KB.
Devices with a 3.0+ megapixel camera can send / receive a maximum file size of 500 KB.
Lowering the camera resolution will reduce the image file size.
Additional information can be found HERE.
Hope this helps! :smilehappy:

How can I get "distorted" gradient fills to copy & paste properly?

Here's the situation simplified: I create a document and draw a circle and fill it with a circular gradient fill. I then copy and paste that circle into a new document. It looks exactly the same, and importantly, the gradient fill is still editable, so I can change the colours making up the gradient, their positions on the gradient-slider, etc.
However, if I draw the circle in the first document, fill it with a circular gradient fill, and then I "distort" the gradient's shape to an oval shape, using the gradient tool — still keeping the circle itself as a circular shape (only the fill has changed shape) — and I then copy and paste this circle into a document, it does not get copied across properly as a "true" gradient fill.
At first glance, it looks the same. However, viewing the circle in Outline mode shows that the gradient fill has been expanded into 100s and 100s of flat solid coloured objects, each one laid on top of another, getting progressively smaller and smaller, and all masked in the original circle shape.
And of course, as the gradient fill has been expanded, it is no longer "live" and no longer editable, so I now can not edit its colours or positions on the gradient-slider, etc.
So, how can I make it so that Illustrator maintains and keeps the correct gradient fill when copying and pasting between documents? I've tried editing all the settings under Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard, but all without success.
At the moment, to overcome this "bug", I have to separate the two document windows by dragging its tab out of the main Illustrator window, so I now have two floating windows, rather than all windows tabbed in the one environment, and I then have to drag and drop the object from one window to the other. Slightly inconvenient, but it does get the job done.
Strangely enough, dragging and dropping DOES work, whereas copying and pasting does NOT. Weird.
However this slight inconvenience soon adds up when I have to do it many many many times over.
And it gets progressively worse, because dragging and dropping does not allow me to place the object in the position I want it, whereas with copying and pasting, I could ordinarily choose to "Paste In Front" to place my object exactly in the same position between the two documents.
In order to overcome this, I have to drag and drop to get the gradient fill across correctly, and then I have to copy and paste a non-filled duplicate version of the object to get it in precisely the same place, and then I have to use the alignment tools to get the two objects to line up. This = major inconvenience.
And all this becomes even worse when attempting to copy an Illustrator object into Photoshop as a Smart Object, because when I then double-click the Smart Object in Photoshop to edit it, the gradient fill has been expanded — because, obviously, the object had to have been copied and pasted to get it from Illustrator into Photoshop, and this is the problem that Illustrator seems to be having.

Thanks for the continuing answers guys, mucho appreciado.
However, to go through what's been said since my last post...
I tried launching Illustrator in another user account on this machine, but it wouldn't even launch! I got some error number (which I don't recall offhand, but I can re-check it later).
To clarify, this is an official install of CS4 (so no pirating here!), and Illustrator was not running in my other main user account.
And the InDesign thing wouldn't apply to me, as I don't use that app at all. I do invariably have a couple of other CS4 apps running though, usually always Photoshop and Bridge.
I CAN understand how copying and pasting from Illustrator to InDesign would cause this though, because InDesign doesn't support live editable gradients to the same advanced degree that Illustrator does, so it has to expand it when doing so, thereby losing its editability.
Copying and pasting whilst staying completely within Illustrator though is a different story.
You know what — I just had a thought... What if this is nothing to do with Illustrator, but is instead something to do with my Mac OS's system-level clipboard?
I actually had a 3rd-party multiple-item clipboard item installed some time ago, but then never used it. Maybe there's still remnants of that floating around and that's interfering with it somehow?
I'll see if I can clear out all traces of it and see if it makes a difference... Fingers crossed!

How do I get my contact phone numbers to format properly?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 4S on Verizon. The majority of my contact phone numbers are now in the format: 1234567890. On my old iPhone 4 (AT&T) they were displayed as (123) 456-7890.
This is causing several problems.
When I try to dial from contacts, Verizon keeps insisting the numbers are international, and I don't have international service.
When a call from a contact comes in, it shows the number, not the name (it cannot correlate the caller ID number with the name in my contact list). The same with text messages.
I cannot get Siri to dial any of these contacts.
I am syncing via iCloud, and was on my last phone. In Address Book on my Macintosh the numbers are formatted properly, and show as US numbers.
I've searched through settings, but I don't see any way to change how Contacts on the iPhone displays numbers.
Is there some way to convince my phone that these are US numbers, format them correctly, and stop giving me trouble dialing them please?

I had this problem also and did the same thing. I dialed *228, chose option 1 and it worked. My question is that my phone, which is a 4S and on Verizon, is the only iPhone I've ever had. The format of my numbers just changed. I didn't realize it until I noticed that I was getting calls from people on my contact list and the number, not the name, was coming up. Is there a reason that this happened? I'd like to know in case it was something I did so I can be sure not to do it again.

How can I get help with an app not working properly?

I just bought a 'learn Gujarati' app and the sound is so low I can hardly hear it even with the sound control on the iPad turned up as high as it would go. I have only had the iPad a few months - present from children, and I LOVE it and want to make most of it, thanks, Chrissy

How can I get the CC desktop app to work properly?

Hi,
I purchased a subscription and now I'm trying to install Adobe CC applications on my computer.
Unfortunately NOTHING is working the way it should…
I have tried calling support but they haven't called me back anymore.
Today I finally managed to get the Creative Cloud Desktop app installed, but it keeps giving me this message:
"The Creative Cloud installation is no longer functioning, please uninstall and download again from…"
I think I have tried all suggestions I found; uninstalling the app, repairing disk permissions, shutting down and starting up again, using the cleaner tool, renaming the OOBE folder in my Library… All steps in all order and with a restart and repairing disk permissions in between.
Also I followed all steps mentioned here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
The only thing I can think of that didn't go as described is the verification of the Cleaner Tool, also no log file is created.
- When you see the message "Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool completed successfully," click Quit and restart your computer.
- In a text editor, such as TextEdit, open /Users/[user name]/Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.log.
I'm not sure what else there could be, is there anyone that has had similar problems and found a way around it?
All help is appreciated
By the way, my MacBook Pro 13" Retina is running OSX 10.9.5 on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB or RAM. All CS6 apps have been working without many problems…

Try to follow below steps
Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad
It will open Go to folder window, type exactly ~/Library and click on Go
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders
Trash AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.
Now click on finder and hold Command + Shift + G keys on your keypad.
This time type /Library and click on Go.
Make sure to remove ~ symbol.
Then open Application Support > Adobe folders.
Trash AAMUpdater, Adobe Application manager, OOBE folders.
Now Click on Finder and then hold Command + Shift + U keys on your keypad.
It will open utilities folder.

How do i get my direct selection tool to work properly?

using adobe cc 2014 and all of a sudden the space bar does not turn the direct selection tool into the hand to drag a pasteboard.
it seems universal across the above programs
amazing how such a little thing kills productivity

spooney,
As I (mis)understand the issue, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How do i get two spry tabbed panels to render properly in design view?

I have inserted two spry tabbed panels into a simple web page. The second panel appears off to the side of my design view window. When i preview it in a browser it comes out fine but i can't seem to get the design view the same. If i insert new paragraphs the tabbed panels look okay in the design view, but when viewing in the browser theres waaay to much space between them. Any suggestions?

Without seeing your page, not much to suggest other than making sure your code is valid. DW is sensitive to coding errors that some browsers will overlook.

How do I get my iPod touch 4g to charge properly?

I have a 4g iPod touch. It rarely charges properly meaning when I plug it into the wall to charge, the battery image and the noise that accompanies it doesn't occur except for when it wants to. I can't connect to iTunes to transfer files or anything like that. I got it replaced under warranty so I'm sure it's refurbished. Also when I plug it into a computer it says the device has malfunctioned when it hasn't. Is there anything that can be done about this?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. .
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I doubt you'll get an answer in a user forum, sorry. This forum is meant for users to help other users when they have problems that have to be solved. You should contact Adobe itself.

How can I get Captivate to revert to the top of the screen for each slide after published?

I have a project captured in 1024x768. If the user has many toolbars in browser, they have to scroll to see the whole screen. If they use F11 in IE, this virtually eliminate the problem. In MAC however, there is no F11 feature. So, how can I get the published Captivate file to load each new screen at the top scroll position? I have tried changing the html and tried adding Multiple Actions on success to click boxes with Go to Next slide and Execute JavaScript command: onload='window.scrollTo(0,1)'. Neither are working. Any idea how to get the screens to stop holding the previous screen position?
Thanks!

Hi GoldenCJ,
Please remove "onload" from your javascript command. The "onload" event is fired when a html page(or any other page for that matter) is loaded. In your case the page is already loaded, that is, the page is loaded again when the user moves from one slide to another. Hence your javascript will not be executed.
So just have
"window.scrollTo(0,0)" as your javascript.
This should work fine.
P.S. The execution of the javascript is browser dependent and browser settings dependent.I tried with chrome,IE 6 and FF 3.5, it is working. Please make sure that your target audience have javascript enabled in their browser.
Thanks
